Giambi still sore; due for scan next week

Jason Giambi's foot still hurts, and the Yankees' slugger likely will have another scan next week to determine how fast he is recovering from a severe injury.

Giambi arrived at Yankee Stadium about 45 minutes before last night's game against Oakland and said the boot that had been on his left foot since May 31 was removed Monday, when he saw Dr. William Hamilton.

"He wanted to me to start walking around in my shoe a little bit, and I started getting treatment on it, with massages, trying to get the scar tissue out of there," Giambi said. "It's still sore."
